Join in the Fun – National Simultaneous Storytime Activity

National Simultaneous Storytime is an annual event that celebrates the joy of reading and storytelling. This year, we’re taking it to the next level by incorporating the love of art and creativity into the mix. Our collaborative colouring sheet is a masterpiece in the making! Featuring an exclusive illustration inspired by this year’s chosen story, it provides a canvas for students to express their creativity while celebrating the joy of storytelling. The artwork is thoughtfully designed to be completed by an entire class, creating a beautiful collective masterpiece.

How to Create a Collaborative Colouring Masterpiece

Print the template, then cut along the dotted lines to create individual pieces. Distribute the pieces of the template to the students. There is a right side and a wrong side to each piece. The right side has a number written in the bottom right corner. Ask the students to turn the paper over and lightly record this number in pencil on the wrong side of the paper. (This is just in case the number becomes obscured by their drawing). Students then flip the piece back over and fill in the template with lines and patterns.

Once the students have completed their work, the artwork is assembled by gluing the pieces, in number order, onto a large sheet of backing paper. A guide is provided to see what the completed artwork should look like.
